Second quarter 2021 (Q2/21) compared to second quarter 2020 (Q2/20)
Consolidated sales revenues increased substantially by 132% to EUR 7,266 mn due to the additional revenues stemming from full consolidation of Borealis as well as higher market prices and sales volumes. The clean CCS Operating Result improved by EUR 1,154 mn from EUR 145 mn to a record EUR 1,299 mn. The clean Operating Result of Exploration & Production grew to EUR 498 mn (Q2/20: EUR (152) mn), while the clean CCS Operating Result of Refining & Marketing declined to EUR 181 mn (Q2/20: EUR 231 mn). In Chemicals & Materials, the clean Operating Result rose sharply to EUR 647 mn (Q2/20: EUR 78 mn). The consolidation line was EUR (10) mn in Q2/21 (Q2/20: EUR (9) mn).
At 33%, the clean CCS Group tax rate was higher than in the same quarter last year (Q2/20: 19%) due to the contribution from high tax regime countries turning from negative in Q2/20 to positive in Q2/21. The clean CCS net income increased to EUR 853 mn (Q2/20: EUR 124 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders of the parent was EUR 643 mn (Q2/20: EUR 65 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share grew to EUR 1.97 (Q2/20: EUR 0.20).
Net special items of EUR (127) mn were recorded in Q2/21 (Q2/20: EUR (12) mn) and mainly related to temporary hedging effects, write-offs, and provisions. CCS effects of EUR 66 mn were recognized in Q2/21. The OMV Group's reported Operating Result was up considerably to EUR 1,238 mn (Q2/20: EUR 63 mn).
The net financial result decreased to EUR (31) mn (Q2/20: EUR 8 mn). This development was mainly due to a lower net interest result and foreign exchange effects. With a Group tax rate of 33%, net income grew substantially to EUR 809 mn (Q2/20: EUR 58 mn). The net income attributable to stockholders of the parent increased considerably to EUR 622 mn (Q2/20: EUR 24 mn). Earnings Per Share rose to EUR 1.90 (Q2/20: EUR 0.07).
As of June 30, 2021, the net debt excluding leases amounted to EUR 7,148 mn compared to EUR 3,401 mn on June 30, 2020, mainly due to increased financing impacted by the acquisition of an additional 39% share in Borealis. As of June 30, 2021, the gearing ratio excluding leases stood at 34% (June 30, 2020: 21%). For further information on the gearing ratio, please see section "Financial liabilities". The leverage ratio defined as (net debt including leases) / (equity + net debt including leases) amounted to 28% as of June 30, 2021 (June 30, 2020: 21%).
Total capital expenditure came in at EUR 659 mn (Q2/20: EUR 386 mn) and was mainly driven by organic projects, with the majority in the Exploration & Production and Chemicals & Materials segments. In Q2/21, organic capital expenditure was up by 70% to EUR 632 mn (Q2/20: EUR 372 mn), mainly due to the full consolidation of Borealis.
January to June 2021 (6m/21) compared to January to June 2020 (6m/20)
Consolidated sales revenues increased by 73% to EUR 13,695 mn due to the additional revenues stemming from full consolidation of Borealis as well as higher market prices.

The clean CCS Group tax rate in 6m/21 was 31%, remaining on a comparable level as in 6m/20 (6m/20: 30%). The clean CCS net income increased to EUR 1,452 mn (6m/20: EUR 544 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders of the parent amounted to EUR 1,067 mn (6m/20: EUR 381 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share was EUR 3.26 (6m/20: EUR 1.17).
Net special items of EUR (64) mn were recorded in 6m/21 (6m/20: EUR (177) mn) and were mainly related to temporary hedging effects, write-offs, and provisions. CCS effects of EUR 291 mn were recognized in 6m/21. The OMV Group's reported Operating Result increased strongly to EUR 2,396 mn (6m/20: EUR 144 mn).
The net financial result decreased to EUR (77) mn (6m/20: EUR (69) mn), mainly due to a lower net interest result which was partly offset by an improved foreign exchange result. The Group tax rate came in at 29% (6m/20: 114%), with a substantially improved net income of EUR 1,644 mn (6m/20: EUR (11) mn). The net income attributable to stockholders of the parent was EUR 1,276 mn compared to EUR (135) mn in 6m/20. Earnings Per Share increased to EUR 3.90 compared to EUR (0.41) in 6m/20.

2 Adjusted for special items and CCS effects
The disclosure of special items is considered appropriate in order to facilitate the analysis of the ordinary business performance. To reflect comparable figures, certain items affecting the result are added back or deducted. These items can be divided into four subcategories: personnel restructuring, unscheduled depreciation and write-ups, asset disposals, and other.
Furthermore, to enable effective performance management in an environment of volatile prices and comparability with peers, the Current Cost of Supply (CCS) effect is eliminated from the accounting result. The CCS effect, also called inventory holding gains and losses, is the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the current cost of supply and the cost of sales calculated using the weighted average method after adjusting for any changes in valuation allowances. In volatile energy markets, measurement of the costs of petroleum products sold based on historical values (e.g., weighted average cost) can have distorting effects on reported results. This performance measurement enhances the transparency of results and is commonly used in the oil industry. OMV, therefore, publishes this measurement in addition to the Operating Result determined according to IFRS.

Risk management
As an international oil, gas, and chemicals company with operations extending from hydrocarbon exploration and production through to trading and marketing of mineral oil products, chemical products, and natural gas, OMV is exposed to a variety of risks, including market risks, financial risks, operational risks, and strategic risks. A detailed description of risks and risk management activities can be found in the 2020 Annual Report (pages 69–71).
The main uncertainties that can influence the OMV Group's performance are commodity price risk, FX risk, operational risks, and also political and regulatory risks. The commodity price risk is being monitored constantly, and appropriate protective measures with respect to cash flow are taken, if required. The inherent exposure to safety and environmental risks is monitored through HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, and Environment) and risk management programs, which have a clear commitment to keeping OMV's risks in line with industry standards.
The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on global economic development. While oil prices continued the increase in the second quarter, they still remain significantly volatile. Increases in COVID-19 cases around the world and in particular in Europe could lead to delays in the assumed demand recovery, following the response of governments and citizens. Thus, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent and duration of the economic impact cannot be reliably estimated from today's perspective. However, OMV is closely monitoring the developments, and regularly evaluating the impact on the Group's cash flow and liquidity position. OMV is responding to the situation with targeted measures to safeguard the Company's economic stability and the secure supply of energy. The health and wellbeing of every employee is the top priority. At the same time, OMV is implementing targeted measures to safeguard the Company's financial strength, namely reduction of investments, cost cutting, and postponing acquisition projects.
From today's perspective, we assume that based on the measures listed above the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is not impacted.
More information on current risks can be found in the Outlook section of the Directors' Report.

Second quarter 2021 (Q2/21) compared to second quarter 2020 (Q2/20)
- ▸ The clean Operating Result grew robustly to EUR 498 mn, thanks to strong positive market effects.
- ▸ Production up by 26 kboe/d to 490 kboe/d, driven by Libya, Malaysia, and Tunisia; sales volumes followed suit.
- ▸ Production cost increased to USD 6.8/boe due to adverse FX effects.
In Q2/21, the clean Operating Result increased markedly from EUR (152) mn in Q2/20 to EUR 498 mn. A very solid operational performance was bolstered by a highly beneficial market environment . Net market effects boosted returns by EUR 521 mn, owing to extraordinary commodity price growth. Adverse factors were FX movements and hedging losses. Operational performance added another EUR 130 mn on the back of higher production and sales volumes, mainly driven by the return to full operations in Libya and the commissioning of new natural gas fields in Malaysia and Tunisia. A lower number of exploration write-offs reduced E&A expenses, improving the result.
In Q2/21, net special items amounted to EUR (114) mn (Q2/20: EUR (85) mn), mainly consisting of temporary natural gas hedging effects. The Operating Result improved to EUR 383 mn (Q2/20: EUR (237) mn).
Production cost excluding royalties increased to USD 6.8/boe (Q2/20: USD 6.2/boe), mainly owing to adverse FX effects.
The total hydrocarbon production volume expanded by 26 kboe/d to 490 kboe/d. Libyan production was at full capacity during the entire quarter, while it had been severely affected by a force majeure situation in the same period last year. Output in Malaysia and Tunisia grew on the back of the commissioning of new natural gas fields. Natural decline in Romania, lower natural gas extraction in New Zealand, and the full divestment of operations in Kazakhstan in May 2021 stifled production growth to some extent. Total hydrocarbon sales volumes rose to 459 kboe/d (Q2/20: 434 kboe/d) following the trend in production volume.
The rise in oil prices continued during Q2/21. Demand optimism backed by the first signs of a post-COVID-19 economic recovery ultimately outpaced fears concerning Indian demand weakness and additional supply from Iran by the end of May. High OPEC+ quota compliance, the prolongation of Iran talks, and the growing understanding that the expanding influence of ESG criteria on investment decisions is limiting future supply growth put prices on a growth trajectory during the final weeks of the quarter. The
average Brent price increased notably during the quarter, averaging USD 69.0/bbl. Compared to last year, the oil price more than doubled. This is why the Group's average realized crude oil price advanced by 134% year over year. On the natural gas side, the cold European spring led to an extension of the withdrawal period from already low storages for over a month at a time when repletion usually restarts. With additional imports via LNG and from Russia being limited, European natural gas prices experienced their strongest quarterly surge in over a decade. Prices exceeding EUR 33/MWh at the end of June 2021 had not been seen in Europe since 2008. OMV's average realized natural gas price in EUR/MWh was almost 50% higher than in the same quarter last year.
Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A rose from EUR 251 mn to EUR 291 mn in Q2/21, as the COVID-19 pandemic had led to a significant activity cutback in the same quarter last year. In Q2/21, organic capital expenditure was primarily directed at projects in Romania, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Exploration expenditure was cut by 6% to EUR 47 mn in Q2/21 and mainly related to activities at SapuraOMV.
January to June 2021 (6m/21) compared to January to June 2020 (6m/20)
The clean Operating Result increased considerably from EUR (15) mn to EUR 859 mn in 6m/21. Exceptionally strong market effects of EUR 585 mn because of substantially better oil and gas prices were reinforced by very positive operational effects of EUR 271 mn. These were achieved thanks to the return to full operations in Libya and the commissioning of new natural gas fields in Malaysia and Tunisia. Sales volumes generally followed the production trend, with slight limitations caused by the lifting schedule. Depreciation decreased by EUR (17) mn following previous reserve revisions and impairments.
Net special items amounted to EUR (126) mn in 6m/21 (6m/20: EUR (231) mn), which were mainly related to temporary hedging effects. The Operating Result reached EUR 733 mn (6m/20: EUR (246) mn).
Production cost excluding royalties grew to USD 6.8/boe in 6m/21 (6m/20: USD 6.3/boe), mainly owing to adverse FX effects.
The total hydrocarbon production volume increased by 25 kboe/d to 492 kboe/d. Libyan production was at full capacity during the entire period, while it had been severely affected by a force majeure situation in the same period last year. Output in Malaysia and Tunisia grew on the back of the commissioning of new natural gas fields. Natural decline in Romania, lower natural gas extraction in New Zealand, and the full divestment of operations in Kazakhstan in May 2021 stifled production growth to some extent. Total hydrocarbon sales volumes rose to 458 kboe/d (6m/20: 440 kboe/d), generally following the production trend with slight limitations caused by the lifting schedule.
In 6m/21, the average Brent price reached USD 65.0/bbl, a substantial growth of 62%. The Group's average realized crude price improved by 59%. The average realized gas price in EUR/MWh advanced by 18%.
Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A was cut back to EUR 557 mn in 6m/21 (6m/20: EUR 585 mn) following austerity efforts. Organic capital expenditure was primarily directed at projects in Romania, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Exploration expenditure was EUR 93 mn in 6m/21, a reduction of 43% compared to 6m/20. It mainly related to activities in Norway and at SapuraOMV.

4 Actual refining margins realized by OMV may vary from the OMV refining indicator margin due to factors including different crude oil slate, product yield, and operating conditions.
Second quarter 2021 (Q2/21) compared to second quarter 2020 (Q2/20)
- ▸ Easing of COVID-19 related restrictions led to higher sales volumes and a higher refinery utilization rate in Europe.
- ▸ A lower contribution from the gas business followed weaker storage and power performance.
- ▸ Margin hedges contributed positively to the result, although to a lesser extent than in Q2/20.
The clean CCS Operating Result decreased to EUR 181 mn (Q2/20: EUR 231 mn). A stronger retail business and improved performance of ADNOC Refining and Trading were more than offset by a lower contribution from the gas business. The OMV refining indicator margin Europe declined by 2% to USD 2.2/bbl (Q2/20: USD 2.3/bbl). Higher naphtha, gasoline, and jet fuel cracks were cancelled out by increased feedstock costs, and lower diesel and gasoil cracks. In Q2/21, the utilization rate of the European refineries improved by 6 percentage points to 85% (Q2/20: 79%). The rise was driven by growing demand due to the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions. At 4.0 mn t, fuels and other sales volumes Europe increased significantly by 12% in the wake of eased travel restrictions. Commercial quantities grew by around 5%, thanks to higher demand for jet fuel compared to Q2/20, when imposed lockdowns had a major impact on aviation activity. The retail business made a strong contribution to results driven by a strong rebound in amounts sold by 29% and an improved contribution from the non-oil business, partially offset by lower margins compared to the high levels seen in Q2/20.
The contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading improved to EUR (5) mn (Q2/20: EUR (18) mn). Following the successful launch at the end of 2020, ADNOC Global Trading provided strong support to the result. This was limited by a lower contribution from ADNOC Refining driven by a weak market environment and an outage of the RFCC unit at the end of May 2021.
The contribution of the gas business decreased to EUR 26 mn (Q2/20: EUR 89 mn), predominantly a consequence of a weaker storage result as well as a lower contribution from the power business. In Q2/20, the power business in Romania experienced a one-off revenue recovery stemming from a 2019 power price regulation. In addition, it was impacted by unfavorable power forward contracts in Q2/21. The divestment of Gas Connect Austria to VERBUND was successfully closed at the end of May 2021, resulting in a lower contribution. Natural gas sales volumes rose considerably by 37% from 32.3 TWh to 44.4 TWh, mainly on account of higher sales volumes in Germany and the Netherlands. This development was partially offset by lower sales volumes in Romania and Austria.
Net special items amounted to EUR (40) mn (Q2/20: EUR 56 mn) and related primarily to commodity derivatives. In Q2/21, CCS effects of EUR 66 mn were recorded as a consequence of an increasing crude oil price level in the quarter. Consequently, the Operating Result of Refining & Marketing declined by 16% to EUR 207 mn (Q2/20: EUR 246 mn).
Capital expenditure in Refining & Marketing was EUR 126 mn (Q2/20: EUR 115 mn). In Q2/21, organic capital expenditure predominantly related to investments in the European refineries and retail stations.
OMV Group Report January–June and Q2 2021
July 28, 2021
January to June 2021 (6m/21) compared to January to June 2020 (6m/20)
At EUR 289 mn, the clean CCS Operating Result decreased by EUR 310 mn compared to the same period of the previous year (6m/20: EUR 599 mn). This was largely attributable to a weaker refining margin, a lower contribution from margin hedges, and a weaker gas business result. The OMV refining indicator margin Europe decreased by 47% to USD 1.9/bbl (6m/20: USD 3.6/bbl), mainly as a consequence of the persistently weak macro environment and strengthening crude oil prices. Substantially lower middle distillate cracks and rising feedstock costs put considerable pressure on refining margins. This was only compensated to some extent by growing gasoline and naphtha cracks. In 6m/21, the utilization rate of the European refineries reached a relatively resilient level of 83% (6m/20: 86%). At 7.3 mn t, fuels and other sales volumes in Europe decreased by 3%. Volumes sold in the commercial business were down: In particular, demand for jet fuel contracted considerably, while margins also declined. The result from the retail business improved despite lower margins, following an increase of 10% in retail sales quantities and due to a higher contribution from the non-oil business.
In 6m/21, the contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading came in at EUR (31) mn (6m/20: EUR (25) mn). Despite a strong contribution from ADNOC Global Trading following the successful launch at the end of 2020, an adverse market environment in 6m/21 weighed on the result of ADNOC Refining.
The result of the gas business declined by 47% to EUR 95 mn (6m/20: EUR 181 mn), mainly as a consequence of a lower contribution from the storage and supply business. The power business also returned a lower result following unfavorable power forward contracts, which could not be offset by higher revenues from the electricity balancing market. In 6m/20, earnings were supported by one-off revenue stemming from a 2019 power price regulation. The divestment of Gas Connect Austria to VERBUND was successfully closed at the end of May 2021, leading to a lower contribution. Natural gas sales volumes rose significantly from 80.3 TWh to 103.4 TWh, driven by higher sales quantities in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, and partially offset by lower ones in Romania.
Net special items amounted to EUR 15 mn (6m/20: EUR 42 mn) and were mainly related to commodity derivatives. CCS effects of EUR 303 mn were recorded in 6m/21 as a consequence of an increasing crude oil price level, while CCS effects in 6m/20 amounted to EUR (546) mn following the sharp drop in crude oil prices. Consequently, the Operating Result of Refining & Marketing increased more than sixfold to EUR 606 mn (6m/20: EUR 95 mn).
Capital expenditure in Refining & Marketing amounted to EUR 217 mn (6m/20: EUR 225 mn). Organic capital expenditure in 6m/21 predominantly related to investments in the European refineries and retail stations.

Note: As of Q1/21, the Downstream business segment was split into Refining & Marketing and Chemicals & Materials. For comparison only, 2020 figures are presented in the new structure. Following the closing of the acquisition of the additional 39% stake on October 29, 2020, Borealis is fully consolidated in OMV's figures, and the at-equity contributions stemming from Borealis JVs are reported separately.
1 Q2/21 compared to Q2/20
2 Capital expenditure including acquisitions
3 Pro-rata volumes of at-equity consolidated companies
Second quarter 2021 (Q2/21) compared to second quarter 2020 (Q2/20)
- ▸ Record high polyolefin and increased olefin indicator margins in Europe boosted the contribution of Borealis excluding JVs.
- ▸ Borealis JVs benefited from a strong polyolefin market environment in Asia and the United States.
- ▸ Following the closing of the acquisition of an additional 39% stake on October 29, 2020, OMV holds a 75% stake in Borealis, which is thus fully consolidated in OMV's figures, leading to higher contributions.
The clean Operating Result climbed to EUR 647 mn (Q2/20: EUR 78 mn), mainly due to record high European polyolefin margins, increased olefin margins, and positive inventory valuation effects. The full consolidation of Borealis also added to the result.
The contribution of OMV base chemicals grew due to higher ethylene and propylene indicator margins and higher sales volumes. The ethylene indicator margin Europe increased by 14% to EUR 480/t (Q2/20: EUR 421/t), while the propylene indicator margin Europe increased to a greater extent, by 25%, to EUR 457/t (Q2/20: EUR 365/t). Propylene demand benefited from a strong recovery in the automotive sector compared to Q2/20, and constrained supply levels supported both indicator margins in Q2/21.
The utilization rate of the European steam crackers operated by OMV and Borealis improved significantly by 19 percentage points to 93% in Q2/21 (Q2/20: 74%). Q2/20 experienced an unplanned outage at the Stenungsund steam cracker that led to a lower utilization rate.
The contribution of Borealis excluding JVs grew by EUR 406 mn to EUR 430 mn (Q2/20: EUR 24 mn), which was mainly attributable to the outstanding performance of the polyolefin business, an increased contribution from the base chemicals business, and positive inventory valuation effects. The Borealis base chemicals business improved due to higher margins and positive inventory valuation effects. In Q2/20, an unplanned outage of the Stenungsund steam cracker and significant negative inventory effects had weighed on the result. The polyolefin business saw a steep rise mainly driven by higher margins and positive inventory valuation effects; in addition, a stronger contribution from the automotive segment supported the improvement. The European polyethylene indicator margin more than doubled to EUR 803/t (Q2/20: EUR 391/t), and the European polypropylene indicator margin also nearly doubled to EUR 898/t (Q2/20: EUR 453 /t). Both indicator margins were supported by strong demand in the European markets coupled with a tightening supply-demand balance. A heavy maintenance season limited regional supply, and logistics constraints inhibited additional supply from outside of Europe. Polyethylene sales volumes remained stable, while polypropylene sales volumes grew by 6% compared to Q2/20. In particular, the automotive and advanced products segments drove
demand, while volumes in the consumer segment declined. The contribution of the nitrogen business improved compared to Q2/20 due to positive inventory effects and the reclassification as asset held for sale. This was partially offset by higher natural gas prices.
The contribution of the Borealis JVs amounted to EUR 136 mn in Q2/21 and benefited from an increase in polyolefin prices in Asia and the United States. Polyethylene sales volumes generated by the JVs decreased by 17%, while polypropylene sales volumes from the JVs were down by 11% compared to Q2/20. The lower volumes are explained by a shift of orders into Q3/21 due to the implementation of an advanced ERP system at Borouge, which went live successfully at the end of June but caused some delays in shipments. Baystar sales volumes remained stable compared to Q2/20.
Net special items amounted to EUR 31 mn (Q2/20: EUR 18 mn) and mainly related to commodity derivatives. The Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials soared to EUR 678 mn compared to EUR 96 mn in Q2/20.
Capital expenditure in Chemicals & Materials amounted to EUR 236 mn (Q2/20: EUR 13 mn). Following the closing of the acquisition of an additional 39% stake on October 29, 2020, capital expenditure also includes Borealis. In Q2/21, besides ordinary ongoing business investments, organic capital expenditure predominantly related to investments for the construction of the new propane dehydrogenation plant in Belgium by Borealis as well as for the turnaround of the Phenol and Aromatics units at the Porvoo site.
January to June 2021 (6m/21) compared to January to June 2020 (6m/20)
The clean Operating Result increased more than fivefold to EUR 1,089 mn (6m/20: EUR 211 mn), mainly due to substantially higher European polyolefin margins, increased polyolefin sales volumes, and positive inventory valuation effects. The full consolidation of Borealis also added to the result.
The contribution of OMV base chemicals increased slightly mainly following higher sales volumes. The ethylene indicator margin Europe decreased by 6% to EUR 442/t (6m/20: EUR 471/t), while the propylene indicator margin Europe increased by 6%, to EUR 407/t (6m/20: EUR 385/t). Both indicator margins were impacted by higher naphtha prices compared to 6m/20, whereas the propylene indicator margin benefited from strong demand recovery in the automotive sector.
The utilization rate of the European steam crackers operated by OMV and Borealis, improved by 6 percentage points to 91% in 6m/21 (6m/20: 85%). An unplanned outage at the Stenungsund steam cracker led to a lower utilization rate in 6m/20.
The contribution of Borealis excluding JVs soared by EUR 622 mn to EUR 701 mn (6m/20: EUR 78 mn), mainly due to the excellent performance of the polyolefin business and increased contribution from the base chemicals business, slightly offset by a lower result of the nitrogen business. The Borealis base chemicals business improved following positive inventory valuation effects and a higher utilization in the Stenungsund steam cracker, which suffered an unplanned outage in the first half of 2020. The polyolefin business saw an unprecedented rise driven by a steep increase in margins and higher volumes, which also benefited from positive inventory valuation effects. The polyethylene indicator margin Europe more than doubled to EUR 673/t (6m/20: EUR 330 /t) and the polypropylene indicator margin Europe also grew substantially by 75% to EUR 750/t (6m/20: EUR 430/t). Both indicator margins were supported by strong demand in the European markets coupled with a tightening supply-demand balance. A heavy maintenance season in Q2/21 limited regional supply, while logistic constraints in 6m/21 inhibited additional supply from outside of Europe. Polyethylene sales volumes improved by 4%, while polypropylene sales volumes grew by 5% compared to 6m/20. The automotive, advanced products, and energy segments especially drove demand, while volumes in the consumer segment declined. The contribution from the nitrogen business was lower compared to 6m/20 due to lower margins, driven by substantially higher natural gas prices and lower sales volumes. Q1/21 was negatively impacted by a backlog of sales volumes. These negative effects were partially offset by a positive impact stemming from the reclassification as asset held for sale and positive inventory effects.
The contribution of the Borealis JVs amounted to EUR 259 mn in 6m/21 and profited in particular from increased polyolefin prices in the Asian markets and in the United States. Polyethylene sales volumes from the JVs decreased by 2% while polypropylene sales volumes remained stable compared to 6m/20. Despite strong sales volumes in the first quarter, overall sales volumes for 6m/21 came in slightly below 6m/20. The slight decline was mainly driven by a shift in orders into Q3/21 due to the implementation of an advanced ERP system at Borouge, which went live successfully end of June but caused some delays in shipments. Baystar sales volumes remained stable in 6m/21 despite being impacted by the Texas freeze in the first quarter of 2021.
Net special items amounted to EUR 54 mn (6m/20: EUR 18 mn) and mainly related to commodity derivatives. The Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials soared to EUR 1,143 mn compared to EUR 229 mn in 6m/20.
Capital expenditure in Chemicals & Materials amounted to EUR 366 mn (6m/20: EUR 31 mn). Following the closing of the acquisition of an additional 39% stake on October 29, 2020, capital expenditure also includes Borealis. In 6m/21, besides ordinary ongoing business investments, organic capital expenditure predominantly related to investments for the construction of the new propane dehydrogenation plant in Belgium by Borealis as well as for the turnaround of the Phenol and Aromatics units at the Porvoo site.

Selected notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
Legal principles
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the six months ended June 30, 2021, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2020.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for 6m/21 are unaudited, and an external review by an auditor was not performed.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for 6m/21 have been prepared in million EUR (EUR mn, EUR 1,000,000). Accordingly, there may be rounding differences.
In addition to the consolidated interim financial statements, further information on main items affecting the consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2021, is given as part of the description of OMV's Business Segments in the Directors' Report.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies in effect on December 31, 2020, remain largely unchanged. The amendments effective since January 1, 2021, did not have a material effect on the Group's interim financial statements.
Changes in segment reporting
Starting with Q1/21, the OMV Group structure was reorganized involving splitting and expanding the current area of Refining & Petrochemical Operations into two areas: Refining & Marketing and Chemicals & Materials. The internal reporting and the relevant information provided to the chief operating decision-maker in order to assess performance and allocate resources has been updated to reflect the current organizational structure.
In order to comply with the provisions of the international reporting standard that regulates the segment reporting (IFRS 8) the Business Segments will be reported as follows: Exploration & Production, Refining & Marketing, and Chemicals & Materials.
The segment Exploration & Production (former Upstream) engages in the businesses of oil and gas exploration, development, and production. The produced oil and gas are primarily sold within the OMV Group.
Refining & Marketing (formerly the fuels part of the Downstream Oil and Downstream Gas business) combines the Refining division and the Marketing & Trading division. The Refining division is accountable for all activities in refining operations, supply of products, bio and intermediate feedstock, as well as gas logistics of the OMV Group. The Marketing division consists of natural gas supply & marketing, retail mobility & convenience, fuel sales and marketing, as well as crude supply & trading, and commercial excellence.
The segment Chemicals & Materials (former petrochemicals part of the Downstream segment including Borealis) combines all existing chemicals and circular economy activities in the OMV Group.
Segment reporting information of earlier periods has been adjusted accordingly to comply with IFRS 8.29. The tables below depict the segment reporting information as reported in 2020 and restated after the reorganization:

Divestments
As per May 14, 2021, OMV Petrom finalized the sale of its 100% share in Kom-Munai LLP and Tasbulat Oil corporation LLP (both based in Aktau, Kazakhstan) to Magnetic Oil Limited. The sales transaction did not have a significant impact on the income statement.

Divestments
On May 31, 2021, OMV closed the transaction to sell its 51% interest in Gas Connect Austria GmbH (based in Vienna) to VERBUND. The purchase price agreed for the 51% OMV stake in Gas Connect Austria GmbH amounts to EUR 271 mn, less dividend payouts for the 2020 business year totaling around EUR 33 mn (for the 51% OMV interest). In addition, VERBUND assumes the outstanding liabilities of Gas Connect Austria GmbH to OMV of around EUR 212 mn. Under the conditions of the purchase agreement, VERBUND has paid approximately EUR 451 mn to OMV. OMV has settled a cash-pool liability to a subsidiary of Gas Connect Austria GmbH of around EUR 7 mn. The sales transaction did not have a significant impact on the income statement.
Chemicals & Materials
Investments
In June 2021, OMV subscribed through Borealis Group to a new share issue, thus acquiring 10% in RENASCI NV, a company incorporated in Belgium. RENASCI NV is principally engaged in the development of the proprietary processes and know how about various technologies regarding waste treatment and recycling. This investment is in line with Borealis' Strategy to grow its circular economy business. Through the shareholder agreement, Borealis is guaranteed two seats on the board of RENASCI NV and participates in major significant financial and operating decisions. The group has therefore determined that it has significant influence over this entity, even though it only holds 10% of the voting rights. Therefore, the investment is accounted for as an associated company.

The plan to divest OMV's business in Slovenia, where OMV currently operates 120 filling stations, has led to the reclassification of assets and liabilities in Slovenia to held for sale in Q1/21 without having an impact on the income statement at that time. The divestment represents a further step in OMV's portfolio optimization. The closing is expected in Q2/22.
Chemicals & Materials
OMV plans the sale of the nitrogen business unit that is part of the Borealis Group (75% held by OMV) including fertilizer, technical nitrogen, and melamine products. This led to the reclassification of the disposal group to assets and liabilities held for sale without having an impact on the income statement at that time. The company's share in fertilizer production sites in the Netherlands and Belgium ("Rosier") are presently not being considered within the potential sales process.
Seasonality and cyclicality
Seasonality is of significance, especially in the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals & Materials Business Segments. For details, please refer to the section "Business Segments."
